Sector leaders called for resolution of the problems of implementing the Early Years Single Funding Formula.
June O'Sullivan, chief executive of the London Early Years Foundation, said, 'My fear is that with all the concentration on voting systems and who is in charge, early years will be off the radar. I wonder if children will get a look-in.
